This report cover a project done at Karlstad University during the engineering project course DVAE08. The project was aimed to measure response time under load for ”Bredbandskollen”. Functionality was added to measure response time during download and upload. The response time under load was used to be able to explore if excess network queuing occurred in the connection. To be able to measure response time under load over a variety of networks, support wasadded for MONROE,which is an experimental platform for mobile networks. This would enable individual pushing of clients and servers to different Docker containers located around Europe, and subsequently test from them. During upload tests, excessive latency was experienced, so-called bufferbloat.
